Educators Larry Hogan Martin O Maryland General Assembly James N. Mathias, Jr. Gov. elect Larry Hogan signs on to Comptroller Peter Franchot bid to start school after Labor Day. Hogan signs Summer Be Summer petition. Franchot says he No. 13,244.
The movement to require Maryland public schools to wait until after Labor Day to start classes picked up steam Thursday when it gained support from Gov. elect Larry Hogan.
Hogan joined Comptroller Peter Franchot, the state's No. 1 cheerleader for a later school start, at a news conference to add his name to a petition to start school on the Tuesday after the holiday.
"I think this is a tremendous effort for a lot of reasons," Hogan said. "It's not just a family issue, it's an economic issue."

The idea is a tough sell with school officials. All 24 superintendents across the state, the Maryland Association of Boards of Education, teachers unions and state Superintendent Lillian Lowery have opposed it in the past.
Proponents say a later start would give families an additional week of summer to cheap nfl jerseys spend at the beach or Deep Creek Lake, attend the Maryland State Fair or simply spend money at Maryland businesses and produce additional tax revenue. The Bureau of Revenue Estimates projects a post Labor Day start would boost economic activity by $74.3 million and contribute $7.7 million in revenue to state and local coffers.
Hogan became the 13,244th signer of the petition. He joins Gov. Martin O'Malley, who added his name at a Board of Public Works meeting last year.
Readers RespondJury is in: Start school after Labor Day [Letter]See all related8 State Sen. James N. Mathias Jr. said he would draft legislation to require the later start. The cheap jerseys china Eastern Shore Democrat, a former mayor of Ocean City, said the bill will include recommendations of a task force set up by wholesale nfl jerseys the legislature to study the issue. The panel voted 12 3 to recommend the change to the governor.
Mathias said the General Assembly could set the start day and let school systems work out how to adjust schedules.
Opponents say a later state date would push the school year into late June.
Educators say they need time to allow training days for teachers and to prepare students for state tests that are given in March and June. Not all schools are air conditioned, and some worry students would spend more days in hot cheap jerseys schools.
"We have some concerns about the impact it would have, not just on the school year but with instructional time with regard to regional and national assessments like Advanced Placement. Those testing windows are set," said Bob Mosier, Anne Arundel County public schools spokesman. This year, only Worcester County home to Ocean City started after Labor Day. As recently as 2000, though, Baltimore City and Baltimore, Harford, Montgomery and Worcester counties opened after the holiday.
Lowery has said school systems should control their schedules.
"She has supported local superintendents and the idea that they can make that decision," said John White, the superintendent's spokesman.
Franchot, who has made the schedule shift a signature issue, acknowledged the superintendents' opposition. But he said rank and file teachers he talks with support the move.
"The bureaucracy is going to oppose it," said Franchot. He said there are enough "soft days" in the current school schedule to permit the change.
"This is a very minor adjustment," he said, "and after that they have complete discretion."
Leslie Beveridge is one classrooom teacher who would welcome the change.
A nine year veteran who teaches at Easton Elementary School, Beveridge said teachers would still have to work some days before Labor Day to prepare for the kids' return. But instead of coming back in mid August, teachers could come back at the end of the month, she said.
Beveridge said Franchot is correct about "soft" days in the schedule.
"From my experience, there are a few days throughout the year when I feel we could have more instruction for our kids," she said.Articles Connexes:
Obama uses 'n word' to make point about race relations
WASHINGTON President Obama used a racial slur to underscore his point that, while the United States has made great progress on race relations, more work needs to be done, his spokesman said Monday."Racism we are not cured of it," he said at one point. "And it's not just a matter of it not being polite to say 'n r' in public."He added: "That's not cheap jerseys the measure of whether racism Wholesale NFL Jerseys still exists or not," he said. wholesale nhl jerseys "It's not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don't, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior."The use of the so called "n word" generated intense debate on social media.White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Obama does not regret use of the word, and said "the reason that he used the word could not cheap jerseys outlet be more apparent from wholesale nfl jerseys the context of his discussion on the podcast."Earnest said Obama did not plan in advance to use the word, saying cheap wholesale jerseys it resulted from the "free flowing" nature of interview podcast conducted by Marc Maron. The spokesman also cited the "informal setting" of the interview (Maron's garage).While Obama has not used the term publicly during his presidency, the young lawyer wholesale nfl jerseys and community did use it in his 1995 memoir Dreams From My Father noting he was often the target of the term.Previous presidents have used the term privately, according to the historical record.President Bill Clinton also used the 'n word' in wholesale nfl jerseys public in 1995, making a similar point to Obama about the prevalence of racism.In a speech to the Congressional Black Caucus, Clinton said that "forces of extremism" were at work across the globe and in the United States, sometime in subtle ways "Like when five children in an upper class suburb in this country write the hated word 'n r' in code word in their school album."Earnest said Obama's point is one has made before, including his March 7 speech on the 50th anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" civil rights march in Selma, Ala.The nation has been remarkable cheap jerseys from china progress in race relations in Cheap Custom Jerseys recent decades, and "that progress is undeniable," Earnest said. "But what's also undeniable is that there is more work that needs to be done, and there's more that we can do."Articles Connexes:

Wayne Pollard, who writes the very funny Bo's Café Life strip, which is full of observational humor about everything from the coffee klatch set to the writing life, held a contest last week – and guess who won?
Great, you're thinking, right? Except…
The winner was the one who'd garnered the most rejections for their writing in the first quarter of the year.
In case any potential agents stumble across this post, I will immediately caveat this with the fact the same work getting rejections has also gotten several requests: right now, the partial is out with two agents and the full is under consideration by three.
I started querying Sector C in March, and the contest counted rejections received Jan 1 – March 31. During March, I received 12 for Sector C plus one from Carina Press for Cameliard Rising after it had been read by three acquiring editors.
This, and earlier conversations with my critique group, has gotten me thinking about the strategy of querying - musket shot vs. machine gun. A post I'll save for the first Writerly Wednesday.
So what was the prize? I'm glad you asked. Here's the description right from Wayne's contest info:
The writer with the MOST rejection letters will get a FREE one-page evaluation of the first TEN pages of a fiction or nonfiction manuscript OR a FREE one-page evaluation of a short story (not to exceed ten pages) provided by freelance editor MELANIE RIGNEY, former Editor of Writer's Digest magazine and former Editorial Director of Writer's Digest Books.Yay me! Off now to decide which manuscript pages to submit…

Gov. Rick Snyder's office has informed a state board that its outside legal fees related to the ongoing Flint lead contamination crisis could climb to $1.2 million.
The notification came after Snyder's previously estimated legal fees -- to be paid with public money -- hovered at nearly $1 million in February. The Attorney General's office may spend an additional $1.5 million for Flint-related legal costs.
Snyder's office hired attorneys Eugene Driker and Brian Lennon. Driker is assisting the Attorney General's ongoing Flint work, while Lennon was hired to help with the estimated hundreds of thousands of emails and other records related to the Flint public health crisis that the state is and will be releasing, Snyder's office says.
Snyder's office says it's necessary because the state lacks internal resources.

There are various carving styles and when freecarving, you can enjoy them all or invent your own . . .
Shoulders square to the board (chest facing the nose of the board) or shoulders parallel to the board.
Riding and leaning into turns with a straight body or carving in a crouched position with more bend in the knees, ankles and waist.
Short turns in the fall line or wide turns from one edge of the slope to the other and both tight and wide turns with all degrees of leaning in.
Leaning in and touching the slope with one hand or both hands or pretty much your whole body or avoiding that contact.
Keeping your upper body calm and moving your lower body/legs or initiating turns with your upper body and letting everything else follow.
At high or low speed, on flat or steep slopes, carving aggressive or effortless laid back turns.
Linking those to S trenches or going full circle on a single turn.
. . .
Circles Carving a circle is actually possible and rumors are you can even keep going after that!
Single Turns Wide single turns and cirlce attempts are fun anyway even though you will likely lose all your speed and end up lying on the slope.
S Trenches or the perfect linking of carved turns is achieved by changing to the other edge very early and clearly before the actual turn (curve). When doing that, other people further up the slope can see the base of your board for a short time before every turn you make.
Jump Turns Have fun with otherwise hardly appreciated bumps by approaching (a rather small) one carving on the edge and changing to the other edge after takeoff while airborne (landing on the other edge and making the turn).
Cutback Leaning uprightly into a half circle turn or a bit more and just before you lose all of the remaining speed at the end of the turn, spin to the inside (180 degrees) until your nose is facing down the fall line and you can pick up speed again. That way you can do wide turns past the point where you would be able to link turns and nevertheless can keep going without having to stop, sit and turn around. Cutbacks can be stylish moves and feel awesome when done in a fluid way but this lousy attempt captured on film should at least illustrate the idea . . .
Speed You probably won't want to use all speed options steep slopes have to offer. To control your speed you don't need to skid. Carve tighter turns or hold them longer so that you carve uphill a bit at the end of each turn. Because most steep slopes are rather narrow the real challenge is that you don't have much time and space to get into the next turn. Practicing these late but quick edge transitions on easier slopes is a great practice for the steep ones!
Bodyslides Especially on steep slopes it's easy to turn a problem (skidding out) into a blessing. Go over the limit on a heelside turn and slide some distance with your body – until you set the snowboard into the snow again and continue carving as if you planned it that way.
'Extreme Carving' or touching the slope with your whole body can also be done without ever getting off the edge though! Great pictures showing that can be found in the ExtremeCarving Clips (for example Stoked). Narrow (race)boards are not so good for that riding style.
Slope Terrain Carving up the side of a bank on the slope can be like carving up the face of a wave so it can be fun to scan a slope for special features and trying to include them somehow.
Limbo A natural adaptation of this popular dance for the slope is Limbo Riding or the Limbo Challenge.
Switch Carving backwards is fun on well groomed slopes. Probably the most stylish transition from forward to backward carving can be seen in the Pure Boarding clip Carve it up.
Freestyle tricks can be done also when you're not riding backwards. (Some that is) Especially for turning edge transitions into a show . . .
Safety Only do what's fun to you and wait until the slope is less crowded to experiment with carving styles and tricks. Be aware of traffic above you and yield to idiots – it's better than getting into a collision.
Of course you can also ride powder with freecarveboards!
Advanced riders also jump when absolutely necessary :) ride over water and have the option of sand- and rockboarding in summer.

China May Be Rising, But America Is Not in Retreat
Cold War–era Asia was a dangerous and often bloody place. But its alignments were predictable and its problems readily identifiable. No longer.
SEEN IN historical perspective, a Western-dominated world represents a recent phenomenon. Not until the fifteenth century did the gap between the West and the rest start widening dramatically, with the Industrial Revolution, which followed much later, serving as the critical accelerator. For centuries before that, the centers of cultural splendor, wealth and scientific achievement lay in the East. Asia accounted for nearly 60 percent of global economic output as recently as 1700. Its position declined steadily thereafter, but started regaining ground in 1980. China's remarkable post-1978 economic resurgence, along with rapid growth in South and East Asia, ranks among the most significant changes in the international system in the last three decades. This does not necessarily betoken the West's marginalization. Still, the change in Asia's relative standing has ended the long era of unrivaled Western preponderance—and the trend will persist.
In the near term, the United States will continue to possess the world's largest economy, and by an overwhelming margin: a $17.95 trillion GDP in 2015, according to the World Bank. China, its putative challenger for global primacy, registered a second-place GDP of $10.87 trillion. Japan occupied third place with $4.12 trillion—less than one-fourth of the American economy. The disparity favoring the United States becomes starker still in the military realm. Its 2015 defense budget totaled $596 billion; China's, the world's second largest, was $141 billion. The same picture—American preeminence—comes into relief if one turns to venture-capital investment (the global share of the United States is 70 percent), social-media use (about 60 percent) or spending on research and development (about 25 percent). While American foreign policy raises hackles in many parts of the world, attitudes toward the United States remain positive in several respects. In Asia and elsewhere, America still retains considerable appeal as a place to live. The allure of its culture and lifestyle in other countries is readily apparent (if not always aesthetically pleasing), and its universities remain peerless in quality and reputation, attracting thousands of students (975,000 over the last two years) annually from across the world. The American model of liberal democracy does not lack for critics, at home and abroad, and its failings have occasioned much comment lately, but its worldwide influence remains undeniable nevertheless. It does not face a challenge from an alternative political model with global appeal, whether Chinese, Russian or Japanese. In short, America leads in the fuzzier, soft forms of power as well.
To be sure, the United States does not dominate across the board in power-relevant indices. In some, its relative position has declined since the middle of the last century; in others, China has emerged as a competitor. The U.S. share of global GDP has fallen from about 20 percent to about 17 percent in the last decade, whereas it was around 30 percent in 1950 and 25 percent in 1970. But the loss of relative standing was unavoidable as Europe and Japan, demolished by World War II, recovered—and, in no small measure, because of American protection, aid and investment. For decades, technological innovation was an American preserve, and in many ways that remains true; but the picture has changed of late. Consider one indicator: annual patent filings. China led the United States in 2013, though the latter reclaimed first place, and by a sizable margin, in 2015. With start-ups mushrooming, a massive internal market and consumers with growing purchasing power, and generous government financing for research and development, China now makes products once monopolized by the West, Japan and South Korea. India seems poised to follow suit, albeit at a slower pace.
Given the magnitude of its effect on the international order, China's economic transformation merits special attention. The breakneck pace of Chinese economic growth since the 1978 Deng Xiaoping revolution—on average 10 percent annually—has eroded the advantage the United States enjoyed in East Asia for more than half a century. This trend will continue unless China experiences a prolonged economic crisis or deep political upheaval. If the GDP comparison is made in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms, China ($19.5 trillion) edged out the United States ($17.9 trillion) in 2015, a significant achievement given that Chinese GDP (based on PPP) was less than $1 trillion in 1980. Measured in constant 2000 U.S. dollars, Chinese per-capita income soared from $165 in 1978 to almost $7,000 in 2013. It is difficult to deny the shift in the economic balance of power in China's favor. Yes, China's growth rate started to slow in 2014, but most countries would envy even the lower growth rate, 6.8 percent in the first quarter of 2016.
In 1980, China accounted for only 4 percent of global economic production, the United States for 22 percent; the present proportions are 16.3 and 16.1 percent respectively. As recently as 2006, the United States was the top trade partner for 127 countries, China for seventy. By 2012, the figures had flipped: China, 124; the United States, seventy-six. By 2013, China had surpassed the United States as the world's top trading country, with $4.2 trillion (exports plus imports) to America's $3.8 trillion. China, which has the world's largest foreign exchange reserves ($3.3 trillion in 2016), holds $1.2 trillion in U.S. Treasury notes, 7 percent of America's staggering national debt (close to $18 trillion). And U.S. dependence on Chinese credit does not look poised to abate. The Congressional Budget Office estimates a 2016 U.S. government budget deficit of $544 billion.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- One pitcher surmounted tremendous odds to reach the major leagues this year at age 28. The other confronts them in trying to continue a once-stellar career.
Both will face each other Tuesday night when the Cincinnati Reds and the Los Angeles Angels meet at Angel Stadium.
The Reds' Tim Adleman will make his seventh start of the season nearly four months after his major league debut. The right-hander owns a 2-1 record and a 3.68 ERA but has allowed six home runs in 29 2/3 innings.
More from FoxSports
The Angels' Jered Weaver, on the other hand, continues his three-year campaign against numerous injuries and diminishing velocity. The three-time All-Star, who tied for the most victories in the American League with 18 two years ago, now throws a fastball that averages between 83 and 84 mph.
Adleman began his career with the Baltimore Orioles, who selected him in the 24th round of the June 2010 draft. After being released in 2012, Adleman pitched for three independent minor-league teams in two seasons as a reliever. He caught the Reds' attention after compiling 10 saves and a 1.46 ERA in 40 appearances for the New Jersey Jackals of the Canadian-American Association in 2013.
Cincinnati signed Adleman that October, invited him to spring training this year as a non-roster player and sent him to Triple-A Louisville to start the season.
But nearly four weeks later, the Reds promoted Adleman when right-hander Raisel Iglesias went on the disabled list. He made his debut May 1 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Then while pitching May 19 against the Cleveland Indians, Adleman strained his left oblique muscle and joined Iglesias among the disabled. On Aug. 2, the Reds activated Adleman and sent him to Louisville but recalled him Aug. 16.
For Adleman, beating the odds meant relying on dogged persistence.
"It's a matter of still loving to play the game despite some organizations telling me I'm not good enough, and having the confidence in myself that I am good enough," he told the Cincinnati Enquirer in March. "I just need someone to give me the opportunity. That factored with a lot of people who said, 'If you feel you can still play, give it your best shot for as long as you can because once you shut it down, you can never get it back.'"
Weaver demonstrates similar tenacity despite his second successive poor season. Last year, the right-hander finished with a career-low seven wins and a career-worst 4.64 ERA while matching his career high with 12 losses. This year, he already has 11 defeats and a 5.31 ERA.
With his five-year contract expiring after the season, the 33-year old expressed his frustration after the Indians rallied from a 4-1 deficit for a 5-4 win on Aug. 14, the Angels' 10th successive defeat in an 11-game losing streak.
"This could be my last year and it's definitely not the way I want to go out," Weaver told MLB.com. "It's frustrating to sit back and watch."
Yet Weaver ruled out retirement after beating the Toronto Blue Jays in his last start Thursday night to end his four-game losing streak.
"I'm feeling better as we go on," he told the Los Angeles Times. "I just think it's going to take an offseason to figure this out and finally gain some strength back. There's still a lot of work to be done. But I'm looking forward to putting in the work to get back."

Khloé Kardashian Files For Divorce From Lamar Odom; Is She Already Dating Matt Kemp?
After months of denying rumors, Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom are officially going their separate ways. According to People, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court four years after her whirlwind 30-day romance with Odom led to a shocking marriage.
"The news comes after months of speculation that Lamar's substance-abuse issues—which led to a DUI arrest in August and a stint in rehab shortly after—have put an irrevocable strain on the couple's marriage," the People report says. "Reports that the couple had been living apart surfaced in September after Khloé 29, and Lamar, 34, who married in a lavish 2009 ceremony, had not been publicly seen together in weeks."
Meanwhile, sources from Odom's camp promise the baller is doing just fine. An insider allegedly informed TMZ that Odom told friends, "I can't be f–kin' with Khloe. She brings out the bad side of me."
Now, just days after blaming the split on " irreconcilable differences," rumors are swirling that the reality diva is dating Rihanna's old beau, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielderMatt Kemp. Over the past few weeks, Kardashian and Kemp have been seen attending a number of concerts together, including a Drake concert on November 25, a John Legend concert on December 1, and Jay-Z performance on December 9.
But as usual, Kardashian's camp promises the pair are just pals. "They are just friends and have been for a long time," a source tells People. "Khloé is absolutely heartbroken right now [over Lamar] and dating someone is the last thing she's thinking about."
Another Kardashian insider adds: "It could be heading [romantic] in the future, but Khloé wasn't spending time with him when she was still with Lamar. She absolutely wasn't. People need to remember that she and Lamar haven't lived together since June."
Do you think Khloe and Matt would make a cute couple?

This morning was a bit sad. We came into the classroom to find that Elf Jingle had left us to visit year 2. He set us the challenge of making someone a Christmas card whilst he was gone.
We were all very happy that he returned in time to watch us sing to Santa, and he loved all our cards.

MALIBU, Calif. --Malibu is getting a bigger and better city hall, officials announced Monday.That's because the city bought a foreclosed building right next to the existing city hall located at 23815 Stuart Ranch Road, just off the Pacific Coast Highway.
The city purchased the property at auction for $15 million. It once housed the Malibu Performing Arts Center, which was owned by the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Malibu.
The new building will provide more than 35,000 square feet of additional, rentable space. It includes a performance studio and a recording studio. The building will be home to Malibu city services, the senior center and other community services.
City officials say the expansion is not costing taxpayers anything extra.
Relocation is expected in 2010.

In keeping with the Domestic Violence Crisis Center's commitment to provide quality and professional services to victims of intimate partner violence, the agency is pleased to announce that its staff includes three practicing attorneys and a tri-lingual counselor who holds a doctorate in psychology.
Claudia Cardenas, who has a Psy.D. (Doctorate) and an M.A. in Psychology, joined the agency as its Director of Counseling and PeaceWorks in 2012, after working for the past eight years in Massachusetts, most recently as a staff clinician at Children's Charter in Waltham. A native of Colombia, Cardenas is a licensed psychologist in Connecticut and Massachusetts, is fluent in English and Spanish and is proficient in French. During the course of her career, she has worked extensively with both adults and children who have been exposed to violence and personal trauma. Having counseled within Hispanic communities and immigrant populations for much of the time, Cardenas said one of the most impressive aspects of DVCC is the level of access to services the agency provides for Latina victims of domestic violence.
"At other agencies where I worked, sometimes there were a couple of Latina service providers, but often I was the only one. It has been so wonderful and refreshing to find that so many people here are able to address the needs of the Spanish speaking population and that there are specific programs addressed to them."
"EsperanzaCT, both the website and the 24-hour Spanish language phone service line, is a huge asset and a major means of support for the Spanish speaking community," she continued. "It allows people access to information at any time and helps them understand that they have rights, that things can be different and that there is someone they can call."
As Director of PeaceWorks, Cardenas gets to work on fulfilling her other passion, which is to instill in young people an understanding of and respect for healthy, non-abusive relationships.
"Kids are the gateway to creating environments and communities where domestic violence is not acceptable. When kids understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships and when they are confident enough to stand up for themselves, they become active participants in creating a better world for future generations," Cardenas said. "It is essential to provide direct services to victims. It is equally essential to work with young people so that unhealthy, abusive relationships can't take root in the first place."
Andrea Mancuso, who has a JD from Georgetown University and is a member of the bar in Connecticut, New York and Maine, was recently named DVCC's Director of Legal Services and DVCC360, a project of the DVCC that advocates for implementing system-wide policies and practices that benefit and further the rights of victims of intimate partner violence. Since joining DVCC several years ago, Mancuso has helped to advocate for and influence several pieces of legislation that have benefitted victims of IPV in Connecticut. She currently serves on the state's Family Violence Model Policy Governing Council.
In addition to Mancuso, the DVCC Legal Department comprises two more attorneys, Shafa Javaid and Gladys Nieves, and three Family Violence Victim Advocates, Maria Alexander, Jamie Vargas and Liliana Vizcaino, who provide services in the Stamford and Norwalk courts. Attorneys and Victim Advocates offer guidance and support for approximately 1,400 clients across the Stamford and Norwalk criminal courts. In Stamford Civil Court, attorneys represent clients seeking restraining orders. A large percentage of DVCC legal clients also avail themselves of further DVCC services, including counseling, SafeHouses and housing assistance. Additionally, DVCC's monthly Civil Legal Clinics have provided advice to more than 300 clients over the past two years on civil matters such as custody, child support, divorce, housing, property, immigration, paternity and wills. The clinics are staffed by both DVCC attorneys and attorneys from the community who volunteer their time.
Ideally, however, Mancuso would like to see increased staffing in the Legal Department so that DVCC can provide the full range of civil legal services to its clients on an ongoing, full-time and consistent basis.
"Custody, child-support, housing, employment, immigration – these are issues that impact both the immediate safety and the future life circumstances of victims of domestic violence," Mancuso said. "They impact a victim's decision to leave and to remain out of an abusive relationship and they impact her future quality of life. I would like to see us be able to provide advice and representation on a much broader basis in order to more fully meet the needs presented day after day by our clients."
To that end, Mancuso is also pushing for the state legislature to expand the Connecticut statutes covering restraining orders to include economic and financial protections for victims of domestic violence, as is done in 35 other states.
"Victims' financial circumstances have a huge impact on whether or not they are successful in leaving and in staying out of an abusive relationship," she said. "We would like to see economic protections specifically addressed in the restraining order statutes, which is in keeping with best practices elsewhere as well as in direct response to our clients' needs."
The Domestic Violence Crisis Center is committed to promoting the fundamental right of all individuals to be safe in their personal relationships. With a professional staff of 45 people who have years of experience and advocacy in the field of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking, the agency offers confidential services at no charge, including court and legal services, group and individual counseling, SafeHouses and housing services, children's services, medical advocacy, professional adult trainings, multilingual services, PeaceWorks prevention education, a 24-hour hotline (1-888-774-2900) and EsperanzaCT, a Spanish language website and 24-hour phone service line. DVCC is the only domestic violence agency serving the communities of Stamford, Norwalk, Westport, Darien, New Canaan, Wilton and Weston. For more information please call 203-588-9100 or visit www.dvccct.org.

"Oh?" And "Hmm" were Daddy's first responses. I showed him the little booklet of prepared prayers. There were the usual mealtime prayers everyone knew:
God is great, God is good,
Let us thank Him for our food.
And then there were other prayers for bedtime. Until that little book, I'd never thought of praying at night before bed. Daddy looked through the book and showed me one, "What about this one." Suddenly I was gripped with an odd thought. If I needed to read the prayer, how could I close my eyes to pray? Well, besides the fact that I couldn't read all the words yet.
"Yeah, that one!" And handing the book back to Daddy I said, "You read it"
Daddy grunted uncomfortably, "This is your prayer, you should say it."
"What does it say?" I asked. And as Daddy read the rhyming verse, I had another odd thought: this prayer doesn't really match what I think. "No....I don't like that one. Can't I just say what I want? Do prayers have to be from the book?", I asked.
Long pause. Daddy's eyes got a little moist, I could tell. "Sure" He said, "you say whatever you want. I think God listens to all prayers."
And then suddenly, I ruined it. Yep. I got the giggles. And Daddy lost his patience. "I think you're too silly to pray," and he kissed my forehead, patting my head as he turned to leave the room.
It was a long time before I thought about praying again. At least, in a serious way. We said 'Grace' over our meals sometimes, but otherwise prayer was rarely mentioned or discussed. Not until I was much, much older. Not until after we started going to Church and Daddy started going with us. Not until then did prayers became a little more common place around our house.
Although I'm sure I sat through many, many lessons about prayer after that, I don't think I took it too seriously until I was in my early teens. Sure, I had prayed and received answers before that. The embers of my faith were fanned into a tender flame through prayer. But it took years to learn not just how to pray, but what to ask for. The scriptures remind us to 'ask not amiss', and I learned that asking the right questions was important. I learned, after weeks of begging the Lord for miracles, that neither I nor He could interfere with the agency of others. Over the trials and tears of life, I learned that giving thanks for those trials and challenges endowed me with the ability to see the good in them. I learned that when I pleaded with the Lord to deliver me from sorrow, His promise was often not deliverance but instead it was His constant companionship. "I will be right beside you, all the way." was the constant reminder as life situations changed. I have learned that prayer is so much more than a child's poem to be recited day after day, night after night. My prayers are the sacred words of my heart on wing directly to the heart of my Heavenly Father. No worldly noise can interfere. Over and over again, prayer has been the gentle hand that opens my eyes to the beauty in the world around me.
Abide with me; 'tis eventide,
and lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with thee
nor find in thee my light.
(Abide With Me; 'Tis Eventide, Hymns, No. 165, text by M. Lowrie Hofford)
I am still learning and practicing the art of prayer. A few months after Robert passed away, I realized that because of the change in our morning routine of praying together before I said my morning prayers, and also due to the "widow's fog", I had neglected those morning prayers. A return to that routine, even though the prayers themselves were anything but routine, and the fog began to lift. It is a constant learning process, I think. And He listens to all of it. Sometimes the answers are immediate, sometimes they are not. But prayerful moments always leave me filled with peace.
Bright and happy mornings, gratitude filled days, sorrowful sunsets and sleepless nights, I have been able to express the desires of my heart to my Heavenly Father and He has lifted me up through all of it. I can share whatever I feel, He loves me anyway. From the morning planning meeting as I begin the day, to the evening return and report, He fills me with peace. Through prayer I am reminded that I am loved with an Infinite Love.
He answers privately,
Reaches my reaching
In my Gethsemane,
Savior and Friend.
Gentle the peace He finds
For my beseeching.
Constant He is and Kind,
Love without end.
(Where Can I Turn For Peace, Hymns, No. 129, text by Emma Lou Thayne)
In time I not only heard my dad pray, but as his own faith flame grew, I saw that he too, understood the power of prayer. Now, as I look back at my first nervous, attempted prayer filled with uncontrollable giggles and I realize that Daddy's words were more true than he knew at the time, "You say whatever you want...God listens to all prayers."
Daddies know everything.

Lightning-Proof Wind Turbines
Andrew Griesmer December 4, 2012
Here's a story we've all heard before: due to the inefficient nature and inevitable decline of fossil fuels, alternative energy resources are becoming increasingly popular. Wind energy is a popular source of alternative energy, with wind farms sprouting up all over the world. Here's something you may not have thought about: lightning strikes are a major problem for these wind turbines. Intuitively, places with high wind speeds also have stormy weather, and a 150 meter tall metal pole makes an […]Read More

Growing older is an inevitable part of life, and with it, our body slowly begins to show that. I recently started wearing eye glasses because my eyesight is weakening. It's a little unnerving, but I am comforted by the ever-improving technology being produced. My hearing is still fully intact, but the same cannot be said for 17% (36 million) of American adults who report some degree of hearing loss. In most cases, regular hearing aids are sufficient in treating hearing […]Read More

While alternative energy is the energy of the future, fossil fuels are the energy of right now. Coal, especially, is still heavily relied on for energy production and is a primary source of electricity generation in many countries including the US and China. In fact, world coal consumption is actually increasing year-to-year. Scientists need to be concentrating on how to make alternative energies more widespread, but they also need to make coal a better, more efficient fuel source. Designing systems […]Read More

Last month was Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM). In many parts of the world walks were coordinated to fundraise for breast cancer research, and here in the U.S. it also meant NFL football players donned pink gear throughout the month. It was only fitting then, that a poster was presented on the topic at our conference in Boston. The research presented there explores a new method for detecting breast tumors.Read More

Permanent magnet generators, or PM generators as they are also called, generate power without batteries. PM generators consist of a magnetic stator coiled with wire and a wheel with permanent magnets rotating inside the stator. From motorcycles to wind farms, PM generators can be used in many electrical machinery applications. Let's take a look at how these types of generators work and how they can be simulated.Read More

When you need to mix something at a very small scale you don't reach for a teeny-tiny whisk. If you're working with microscale biochemical applications you'd be more likely to rely on diffusion to mix fluids. With highly ordered laminar flow there is no turbulence involved, thus making diffusion a prime candidate for "getting the job done". But what if you need to mix larger molecules? Larger molecules mean higher molecular weight, which in turn leads to very long equilibration […]Read More

What if this Halloween you could take your costume to the next level and turn yourself invisible? There are bounds of references to invisibility throughout fairy tales, folk lore, and pop culture. From capes and hats to cloaking devices, many fictional characters have been provided with a means for rendering themselves invisible. In the spirit of Halloween, let's have a closer look at cloaking from a fictional and scientific stand-point.Read More

It's no secret that there's a lot of guesswork involved in oil production. Oil companies make "Big Money" decisions based on estimates – estimates with huge margins of error. What's more, there is an incredible amount of risk involved, but with the potential for a large pay-off if all goes according to plan. The plan is based on "best guesses" and less than perfect data. Still, there are many big players in the oil industry that are doing very well […]Read More

As much as we would like to think that finite element analysis (FEA) is the be-all and end-all of simulations, it's not true. There is also a camp of engineers out there that model integrated circuits and similar systems. These are based on different physics and equations than what FEA typically solves for. Yet, as is happening more and more in the world of virtual prototyping, the two types of simulations are converging. Now they need to integrate with each […]Read More

Although the acronym is a mere letter away from "CAD", there's actually more to the story than appending the word "electronic" to "computer-aided design". So, what is ECAD and why is it used in finite element analysis (FEA)?Read More

Canada police hunt for Indian-origin cabbie for molesting woman
Toronto: Toronto police have sought public help to identify an Indian-origin Uber cab driver who allegedly sexually assaulted a woman, a media report said.
Listed as Amritpal with the cab service company, he is described as a young man between 26 and 30 years of age, short black spiked hair and a short chin-strap beard, National Post newspaper reported on Thursday.
"This is the first report of a sexual assault involving an Uber driver in the city," police said.
A 25-year-old woman boarded Amritpal's cab from the Eglinton Avenue area, Toronto, for Lawrence Avenue on Tuesday night.
"The woman was sexually assaulted in the vehicle at around 1 a.m. local time," the police said.
She reported the incident to police shortly after and was suffering from minor injuries.
Meanwhile, Uber spokesperson Xavier Van Chau said the vehicle service was cooperating with police and the driver was immediately removed from the platform, the daily reported.
"Upon learning of these disturbing allegations, we immediately removed the driver from our platform and have reached out to law enforcement to assist in any way that we can," Chau said.

When you meet Fran Swaney you instantly sense her vivacious personality. She loves staying active and comes to her church quilting club once a week.
"We make charity quilts since 2012 and we've made over 500," Fran said.
Fran still does all of her own grocery shopping and even makes time to spend with family but about eight months ago something changed.
"I got to the place where I couldn't breathe," Fran stated. I could take maybe five steps and I'd have to sit down because I couldn't breathe. I couldn't make a bed or do housework."
Fran's doctor concluded over her lifetime, she had developed aortic stenosis or a narrowing or her aortic valve. This was causing the shortness of breath.
So, she was referred to Dr. Nick Slocum at Munson Medical Center for a heart procedure called TAVR.
"TAVR is the trans-catheter valve replacement implantation," Dr. Slocum said. "TAVR which is a replacement of your valve with a new valve via cath through the groin. It's done for patients with a high risk for open heart surgery or who are at such a risk that's the best option."
Dr. Slocum says most patients like Fan develop aortic stenosis in their 70s or 80s and TAVR, which started in 2012, provides a minimally invasive solution.
"Patients always have life experiences and they're in a bad position," Dr. Solcum said. "They have a valvular heart disease problem that is likely to take their life in the next two years if nothing happens. This does add time to their life for sure and it always changes the quality of their life."
"I was in the hospital for four days and went home for the next week," Fran added. "I was driving my car and I've been going ever since -- I got a new lease on life!"
Fran says the effects of TAVR were immediate and now she just has cardiac rehab twice a week until the middle of September.
"I could breathe as soon as I woke up," Fran stated. "I didn't have any pain medication with the surgery. I would highly recommend it."
Fran's regained her active lifestyle and even her sense of humor.
"They nicknamed me 'queen Franie' because I have a crown in my heart!"
Dr. Slocum says outcomes like Fran's are evidence TAVR is revolutionizing heart healthcare.
"Most patients regain a lot of what they were missing and recover quickly and feel better almost instantaneously," Dr. Slocum said. "This has been an incredibly important procedure world-wide for advancement in cardiology, It's patient coming to a program and getting the minds of a lot of specialist. This is the tip of the iceberg for minimally invasive heart surgery."

Does culture at local level really matter in policy and institutional transfers? And if so, do cultural affinities and geographical proximity increase the "goodness of fit" (De Jong et al. 2002) and the likelihood of successful transfer and local adaptation? Scholars who have worked on policy transfers in East Asia have underlined that culture and local traditions have important impacts on the mediation of policy transfers as well as on the outcomes of local adaptation (Liu and Leisering 2017; Sun 2016; Tan 2015). Hence, it is not possible to disregard culture in the processes of policy transfers and adaptation. However, the thesis developed under the concept of the "goodness of fit" have assumed that certain characteristics (e.g. the system of formal legislation, informal social conventions, cultural and linguistic similarities, historical common roots) may influence positively or negatively the suitability and transferability of models, policies, and institutions, hence the likelihood of transfers and adaptation rises with the proximity of donors and receivers. While evidence strongly challenges this assumption, for instance the cases of difficult transfers from Singapore to China (Inkpen and Wang 2016; Lim and Horesh 2016) and at the same time of successful transfers from Europe and the US to China (Liu and Sun 2016), the aim of this panel is of that of disentangling the notion of "culture" to discover which aspects of it really matter when we analyse policy and institutional transfers. We acknowledge that there exists a tension between global culture and local culture, the first relating to an institutional regular pattern which has a universal validity claim transcending local contingency, while the other relates to the particular and unique customs, conventions and special institutional and bureaucratic settings within the national borders. The first one leads to global convergence and isomorphism; the second one, being situation- and milieu-related, and locally bounded, leads rather to divergence and decoupling from the global values.
Contributions that critically engage with these questions, and more broadly with the question of culture in policy and institutional transfers/diffusion are welcomed. We expect papers taking into consideration different levels of analysis (macro, meso, micro, corresponding to policy discourses, policies, implementation, implementing actors, local practices, etc.) and "granularity" (Taube 2014). We also welcome papers focusing on transfers of different types of policies and institutions, as their outcomes also depend on the nature of what is transferred and the degree of controversy it provokes with local customs and policies (Liu and Leisering 2017; Heilmann and Schulte-Kulkmann 2011).
Leading panel questions:
- How does local culture impact on the studied process and outcomes? To what extent is tacit knowledge and the correlation to cultural specifics affecting processes of transferring policies, concepts, and frameworks?
- Are there different/local definitions of "policy success" or "successful transfer" that concur with our own frames for defining success? If yes, what are their characteristics, indicators of success and their mechanisms?
- Are the objectives of a policy or institution always maintained with the local process of vernacularisation – hence with the local embedding of global scripts to local ones? Or can we notice a substantial change also of the objectives or raison d'être of a policy or institution?
- Is the embeddedness of concepts taken into account in processes of transfer and at what stage of the transfer and implementation process? And how is it taken into account?
- Do the methods of analysis of policy/institutional transfers correspond to levels of granularity? How can we improve, adjust or rethink these methods, perhaps with the use of multidisciplinarity?
We welcome papers with multi-scalar approaches and encourage contributions with similar questions extending the list above.

These photos are so much nicer and more natural than those you would normally get in a photo studio. I would highly recommend one of Tina's environmental photo sessions. She did one for my kids and we have some amazing photos all in a beautiful photo book which we will cherish. Wouldn't hesitate to do another one in the future.

COMMUNITIES across the central belt including those in West Dunbartonshire can bring environmental and health benefits to their areas by bidding for a share of a £400,000 fund.
The 2018-19 round of the Central Scotland Green Network (CSGN) funding will offer investment to projects promoting active travel, woodland planting, community growing and restoring land.
Since 2010 £6.3 million has been invested in more than 180 projects.
Cabinet Secretary for the Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform, Roseanna Cunningham opened the latest round of funding.
She said: "Since 2010 this investment has helped more than 180 projects improve green spaces in their local areas.
"Whether that's been through community growing, woodland planting or increasing awareness of cycle and walking routes, each of these community projects is playing a role in our ambitions to create a cleaner and greener Scotland.
"It's more important than ever that we recognise how these small individual actions can play a role in reducing emissions, and why getting together to improve our green spaces is so crucial."
Keith Geddes, chair of the Central Scotland Green Network (CSGN) Trust, said:
"We are proud to continue our support of the CSGN Development Fund, helping to improve the lives of people living, working and visiting Scotland's Central Belt and support the delivery of a better natural environment.
"Through the Development Fund, we have been able to support a range of worthwhile projects across the region, helping them to make a real difference through the invaluable work they carry out.
"We are looking forward to the next round of applications and are keen to hear from eligible projects that are supporting and creating woodland areas, green infrastructure, active travel as well as those encouraging community growing."
The deadline for applications is 5pm Monday 5 February 2018.

Even the most exacting photographers tend to acknowledge the magic of chance. There are moments in a photographer's career in which innate ability and training allow him or her to take advantage of an unexpected opportunity. The resulting image is often one that could never be planned for or dreamed of.
If writer Paul Theroux is to be believed, Eli Reed's life has been a bit like this: A combination of ability and hard work enabled the photographer to take advantage of some truly wonderful chances. In Theroux's introduction to A Long Walk Home (University of Texas Press, 2015), Eli Reed's new retrospective book, he describes Reed's childhood in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, among "tough kids," and the serendipitous encounters that set him on his path: An art critic happened to see one of Reed's early paintings and encouraged him to pursue a creative career; Reed met photographer Donald Greenhaus, an early mentor, on the street in New York City.
From those early chances, Reed built a remarkable life. He has photographed conflict in places like Beirut and El Salvador; civil unrest and people struggling in poverty in American cities and rural areas; presidents and celebrities; and so much more.
Reed divides his book into geographic and thematic chapters, moving from the Middle East to Africa to the U.S. and Central America, from Hollywood to "Innocence Lost." One short chapter, "Save the Children," emphasizes the attention Reed paid to children in his work, and the chapter ends with a portrait of Reed as an adult.
"My personal journey on this long road has been a meditation about what it means to be a human being," Reed writes in the book's preface, "and I have tried to capture the complicated beauty and reality of life in a visual form."

Developement Considerations in the City of Joondalup
07 July 2017
With the City of Joondalup, along with some other local authorities, issuing possible housing strategy implementations and changes in zoning over the past 12 months, we are finding a lot of interest from home owners on suitably sized blocks who are looking to take advantage of this situation. However in most circumstances, it is causing quite a bit of confusion, and raising quite a number of questions, that need to be answered prior to any applications being submitted, in order to see if the project is indeed doable and or viable.
Whilst working closely with a number of clients and local residents in the areas that have been re-zoned, it is very apparent is that that each and every potential development property is different, and of course every home owner's needs and financial situation is also unique to their particular set of circumstances.
Below you will find just some of the many definitions and considerations that need to be taken into account before commencing a project such as this;
Zoning is what defines the potential development size possible for each block. Each Zoning is identified with a unique R-Code, and each R-Code number will have a different set of rules and values associated to it, such as stipulating the minimum amount of square metres that is required per lot, along with different building requirements.
Planning Schemes
: Each council may have policies above and beyond the residential design codes (R-Codes), that developers will need to adhere to in order to gain a development approval.
Services Location
: Location of services to each block has a big effect on the final development that can be undertaken along with the overall cost of the proposed development. Generally developers can build up to 600mm from a sewer line, but will need to add piling to the building, which will add significant costs to the build. The depths of the sewer and service will also affect the extent of setbacks and piling.
Front Verge Requirements
: Each council has a different set of rules relating to the location of street trees, along with other fixed items to front verges, so this also needs to be checked before removing anything on the front verge. Failing to comply with council requirements will result in fines or refusal of development applications.
: A full feasibility report associated to all the possible costs relating to every stage of the development, along with potential returns from the end result is critical. This is not only to work out whether it will be worthwhile investing money into the development to begin with, but it may also determine what product you have to sell at the end of the day.
Ownership Structure
: When a development is successfully completed, there is ideally an amount of profit achieved. You may need to seek advice and direction from your accountant prior to this situation arising, as there may be capital gains, income tax and deduction issues associated with the viability from your development project.
The location of your future developed properties needs also to be carefully considered, as that may also determine your overall profit n terms of future saleability.
Speak to Your Neighbours
: Joining with your neighbours can create even larger blocks that may yield even greater future potential, whilst also allowing you the ability to split the costs.
Use a Professional
: By engaging an experienced Real Estate Agent at an early stage, as this will save you time and also help you avoid any possible future headaches or heartaches.
Above all, by speaking with us here at Northside Residential first, we will be able to discuss your personal requirements and goals in more detail, and then be able to work out what is best for you and your family moving forward. We can also liaise with builders, designers, surveyors, accountants and anyone else that may be required in order to help manage the project for you.
So in summary, please feel free to call us at any time if you have any questions or would like to know more about the possibilities your property possesses. We are more than happy to help, because as you can see above, it is not always as straight forward as you may first think.

Abstract/ Summary
This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of many of the behavioral factors associated with the use of technology and tests their applicability to text messaging. The theories explored included End User Computer Satisfaction, Theory of Reasoned Action, Diffusion of Innovation, Theory of Planned Behavior, and Technology Acceptance Model. In addition, Positive and Negative Emotion factors were developed and tested to examine their influence on text messaging behavioral intention. Several statistical processes were utilized to develop and confirm the factors. The results of the study suggest that no one model can fully explain texting behavior but several factors did have a significant influence on intention at p < .05. These factors were Attitude, Compatibility, Ease of Use, Satisfaction, and Visibility. These factors can serve as areas that practitioners and researchers can focus on to improve text messaging intention and obtain the significant benefits of this technology.

Car Jumps Curb in the Bronx - Mother Saves Baby from Stroller
Posted on Jun 13, 2013
On Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at around 12:45 p.m, a livery car jumped a curb and hit a Dunkin Donuts in the South Bronx, injuring a teen and a baby.
A mother pushing her baby in a stroller narrowly escaped being hit by the out of control livery cab, police said. The 17 year old mother grabbed her baby from the stroller moments after it was struck by the cab. The impact of the crash crushed the stroller.
The livery cab, a 2005 Lincoln town car, was traveling south on Prospect Avenue in Longwood when the 68 year old driver passed out behind the wheel. The cab hit another car stopped at a red light at Westchester Avenue and an empty parked before it went up on the sidewalk, police said.
The 68 year old driver who was behind the wheel, has died. The 8 month old baby and a 17 year old mother were taken to Lincoln Hospital and were treated for minor scrapes and bruises. Police say they are expected to recover.
